One Hundred Years Later in Florence

After finding my roots in the tiny fishing village of Lacco Ameno, Ischia, I became a dual citizen and was beckoned to live in the country that my family had to abandon in 1904. They would never live to know that their dream would be fulfilled through their children. They would never live to know that a century and three generations later, the circle would be completed, returning one of their children back, to love as they never could, the land that was once theirs.

Erma

A real coincidenza, Erma Tranter, is studying Italian in Firenze for one month, and we just happen to be here at the same time. Tonight I met her for dinner and we caught up on each other's lives. I met Erma, who lives in Chicago, on a bike tour across southern Italy last year and we share a love of all things Italian.
